Scott Baio is ready to make his return to the small screen.
Baio is circling an untitled NBC comedy about a fortysomething guy (yes, Scott Baio is 43), who moves in with a twentysomething friend and turns his life around.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jace Richdale (“The Simpsons”) is on board to executive produce the pilot, which has been given a script commitment at NBC. Then again, a script commitment to Baio doesn’t mean much. His last series, the comedy “Rewind,” got a series order from Fox but never aired.
Baio, most recently seen in “SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2” is probably best known as Charles “Chachi” Arcola from “Happy Days” and its seminal spinoff “Joanie Loves Chachi” as well as “Charles in Charge.”
